Yulchon achieved remarkable results in the 1st Evaluation for Lawyers in Specialized Areas, jointly conducted by The JoongAng (known as JoongAng Ilbo, one of the biggest newspapers in South Korea) and the Korea In-house Counsel Association (KICA), with 11 attorneys selected in the Best Lawyer category and 8 in the Rising Star category.

This evaluation, limited to the advisory area, was conducted by the evaluation committee composed solely of in-house counsels. It focused on the individual capabilities of law firm attorneys and deliberated to select three top advisory lawyers, 'Best Lawyers,' in each field, as well as three attorneys with less than 15 years of experience, 'Rising Stars.' A total of 119 attorneys were selected across 20 specialized areas.

Yulchon had 11 individuals listed in the Best Lawyer category and 8 individuals in the Rising Star category, totaling 19 names on the list. This ranks Yulchon as the third law firm with the most lawyers selected.
